This review aims to gather and summarize information about the occurrence of emerging contaminants and antibiotic resistance genes in environmental matrices in Latin America. We aim to contribute to future research by compiling a list of priority pollutants adjusted to the needs and characteristics of Latin America, according to the data presented in this study. In order to perform a comprehensive research and secure a representative and unbiased amount of quality data concerning emerging contaminants in Latin America, the research was performed within the Scopus® database in a time frame from 2000 to July 2019. The countries with higher numbers of published articles were Brazil and México, while most studies were performed in the surroundings of Mexico City and in Southern and Southeastern Brazil. The main investigated environmental matrices were drinking water and surface water. The presence of antibiotic resistance was frequently reported, mainly in Brazil. Monitoring efforts should be performed in other countries in Latin America, as well as in other regions of Brazil and México. The suggested priority list for monitoring of emerging contaminants in Latin America covers: di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), bisphenol-A (BP-A), 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), triclosan (TCS), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), ethinylestradiol (EE2), tetracycline (TC), amoxicillin (AMOX), norfloxacin (NOR), ampicillin (AMP) and imipenem (IMP). We hope this list serves as a basis for the orientation of the future research and monitoring projects to better understand the distribution and concentration of the listed emerging substances.
本综述旨在收集和总结拉丁美洲环境介质中新兴污染物和抗生素耐药基因的发生情况。我们旨在根据本研究中提出的数据，为未来的研究做出贡献，编制一份符合拉丁美洲需求和特点的优先污染物清单。为了全面研究并确保获得有关拉丁美洲新兴污染物的具有代表性和无偏倚的高质量数据量，研究在 Scopus®数据库中进行，时间范围为 2000 年至 2019 年 7 月。发表文章数量较多的国家是巴西和墨西哥，而大多数研究是在墨西哥城周边以及巴西南部和东南部进行的。主要研究的环境介质是饮用水和地表水。抗生素耐药性的存在经常被报道，主要是在巴西。应在拉丁美洲的其他国家以及巴西和墨西哥的其他地区进行监测工作。建议的拉丁美洲新兴污染物监测优先清单包括：邻苯二甲酸二（2-乙基己基）酯（DEHP）、双酚 A（BP-A）、4-壬基酚（4-NP）、三氯生（TCS）、雌酮（E1）、雌二醇（E2）、乙炔雌二醇（EE2）、四环素（TC）、阿莫西林（AMOX）、诺氟沙星（NOR）、氨苄西林（AMP）和亚胺培南（IMP）。我们希望该清单能够为未来的研究和监测项目提供指导，以更好地了解列出的新兴物质的分布和浓度。
